One of more than 200 Amsterdam bridges -
I will post some other shots of the iron work around and in the building. The Scheepsvaarthuis was built around 1914, so right near that art nouveau time. The work was part of what was called the "Amsterdam School" and was distinctive from art nouveau forging in Belgium and Paris. The more than 200 bridges in Amsterdam have some really interesting work in the form of railings and lamp posts, done in big stock with big tools. An interesting book could be written with a little research in one of the nicest towns in Europe. -
Don't know if this is the right place...as good as any. There is a metal worker in the Seattle area. Looks like it's scrap price or so. Maybe that means it needs a lot of work. Don't know any details, but someone here might could use the thing for $1200 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX There are a few problems with this post: 1) we have a section for machines this is for simple tools. 2)sales should go in tailgating not the general forum, and 3) No off site sales please.

This is from the Schepsvaarthuis, the headquarters of several rich shipping companies around the turn of the century. Now an expensive hotel. Not far from the main railroad station in Amsterdam.

Some kind of pipe to support the part you don't want to bend is the obvious design but localizing the heat exclusively to the part you want to upset accomplishes a similar result. Thing about a tool is that you would probably need a bunch of different sizes of the same tool for different situations.

Que yunque mas bonito. That anvil prettier.

Do you do models first?

Good idea to at least draw. It feels better to me than computer generated because moving hand on paper helps ideas develop better. May have to do with how slowly I work a cad program. Clay is good too, but mainly when it models a small part of the piece I haven't done before or have done too few times to be absolutely comfortable. All of the thinking, drawing, figuring best order of process, has never resulted in a finished piece that is exactly the embodiment of my planning. If I stumble on an improvement as I go, I'm not handcuffed to what I've generated on paper. What happens equally often is that the execution is a little lacking. It's a hand made thing. It's nice to see the tracks. They're an important part of the story. -
Rock, paper, scissors...cast doesn't fit.

Think it has to be a cross/straight peen hammer. No surface to strike. I have one, but with the usual rounded peens. That would stretch and groove at once. Probably best to use for some kind of groove texture.

You're on your way and you have some good ideas. Luck.

Teepees are nice work spaces, although your wife/neighborhood association may associate them with "undesirable" counterculture types. Pole buildings are pretty easy. My 34x22, slab floor, salvage metal roof, salvage windows and doors, rough sawn lumber and poles from my property cost me about $3000 and I had fun building it.

It seems like I have seen another similar chart on the web with more info than included here. Thing about information, nothing is gospel, or shouldn't be. Just a point to start. Take a look - Machinerys Handbook
